Section � - Installation

InstallationUnpack and Inspect

CAUTION: Under ordinary circumstances, a DGE-530T card will not be affected by a static charge that may be received through your body during handling of the unit. In special circumstances, the user may carry an extraordinarily high static charge and it is good practice to reduce the charge by touching a ground before handling the adapter card.

Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. Ensure that the following items are included:

• One DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Card• DGE-530T Drivers and Manual on CD-ROM• Quick Installation Guide

If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Hardware Installation

1. Shut down the computer, unplug its power cord, and remove the chassis cover.

Important: Opening the case of your computer may compromise the warranty of your computer. Consult the computer manufacturer before opening the case to ensure that you adhere to warranty guidelines. In some cases, you may need to have the DGE-530T installed by your computer manufacturer.

2. Insert the contact edge of the DGE-530T card into the connector of any available PCI Bus Master expansion slot. Press the card firmly into the connector such that the card’s contacts are fully seated in the connector.

3. Install the bracket screw that secures the card to the computer chassis.

4. Replace the computer’s chassis cover.

5. Reconnect the computer’s power cord, and switch the computer on. If the BIOS section of your computer’s boot program is Plug-and-Play compliant, then at power-up the BIOS will automatically configure any newly installed DGE-530T adapter.



If the CD Autorun function does not automatically start on your computer, go to Start > Run. In the run command box type “D:\DGE530T.exe” (where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).

Drivers for non-Windows operating systems are located on the D-Link CD.

When the autorun screen appears, click Install Drivers (this will launch the Network Utility program and install the drivers). An Installation Wizard will guide you through the process, no matter which operating you’re running. Your DGE-530T will be installed successfully in just a few moments, allowing you to enjoy the many advantages of joining an Ethernet LAN.

Note: Due to a fault in some Plug-and-Play BIOS programs, occasionally a newly installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which has already been assigned to another device. In such a case, the conflict of the Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both devices. Therefore, the user must run the CMOS Setup utility and manually assign a non-conflicting Interrupt Number.

Connecting the Network Cable

1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet enables operation over the extensive installed base of legacy Category 5 cabling systems and, by default, the Category 5 cabling systems currently being installed.

It provides optimal full-duplex 1000Mb/s Ethernet service over Category 5e links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5. Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-T. Category 5 and 5e link lengths are limited to 100 meters.

Section 3 - Advanced Features

Advanced Features

Wake On LANThis Wake-on-LAN function can wake up the system from the sleeping mode to the fully powered mode over the network immediately and automatically. Once the system is awake, it can be directed to run management utilities. This function increases end-user productivity by avoiding disruptions during working hours.

QoSThe QoS function allows the DGE-530T to transmit and receive tagged frames, such as 802.1p priority tagged frames and 802.1Q VLAN tagged frames. In order for QoS to function on the DGE-530T, it must be connected to a switch that supports and is configured for QoS. These priority tagged frames will let real-time programs optimally utilize the network bandwidth. High priority packets will be processed before low priority packets.

Note: To implement QoS on the DGE-530T, it must be connected to a switch or other device that supports and is configured for 802.1p QoS.



Jumbo FramesJumbo Frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1518 bytes. Jumbo frames may be used to reduce server CPU utilization and improve wire efficiency.

By implementing extra data in fewer packets, jumbo frames can increase throughput and decrease CPU utilization. However, additional latency may be introduced.

End-to-end network hardware must support this capability or these packets will be dropped.

Consult your network administrator or switch manual for more information concerning configuring and understanding Jumbo Frames.

• Supported protocols are limited to IP (TCP, UDP).• Jumbo frames require compatible switch connections that forward jumbo frames. Contact your switch

vendor or manual for additional information.• There is no benefit to configure jumbo frames if standard size Ethernet frames (64 to 1518 bytes) are

used.• Jumbo frames may be simultaneously used with VLANs.

Note: Jumbo frames settings on a switch must be set to 8 bytes or larger than the adapter settings for Windows® operating systems, and at least 22 bytes larger for all other operating systems.

SNMPSNMP is an acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol. This network protocol is used to manage TCP/IP networks by using “Traps” sent from devices compliant with SNMP and collected by one or more servers. Devices that comply with SNMP correspond with management applications by sending alerts and updates, as well as allowing configuration changes.

The DGE-530T’s SNMP agent will take event notices from the adapter, translate and then forward them to specified SNMP management stations.

Before installing the SNMP agent, you must install SNMP on your computer. Consult the operating system documentation of your computer for additional information.

To install SNMP on the DGE–530T, simply click Install SNMP Agent on the Introduction Page and complete the steps of the Installation Wizard. This utility should only be used by experienced network administrators. Additional software or services may need to be previously installed or configured prior to installation of the SNMP protocol.

D-Link Network ControlInstalled automatically with the driver is the D-Link Network Control program, which may be opened from an icon appearing in the lower right hand taskbar of your browser, and on the Control Panel of your computer.

Double-click the icon to open the program. The configuration and settings information for this program may be found by clicking the Help button of the current screen. This should provide you with any information you should need.

Note: D-Link Network Control is not supported for Windows® XP 64 Bit Edition and Windows Vista® x86 and x64 Bit, and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x86 and x64 Bit.



IEEE 802.1p Priority TaggingWith the growing number of network applications, local area networks (LANs) must deliver data for a wide variety of applications. Email, file transfers, database queries, voice over IP (VoIP), video-conferencing and multimedia must all be delivered to the end-users. Some of the traffic, such as video-conferencing, is of a higher priority with a slight delay of packets resulting in noticeable degeneration of video and audio quality. Other traffic, such as email, will not be noticeably affected by tiny delays. The large number of programs that run over today’s networks serves to impede the ability to deliver time-critical data. Even if bandwidth is not usually a problem on your network, during peak hour bursts in network traffic can result in the delay of time-critical traffic.

IEEE 802.1p defines seven levels of prioritization for Ethernet packets. High priority packets will be sent through a network using 802.1p-compliant switches first. Lower priority packets will be transferred whenever bandwidth is available. When properly setup, this ensures that time-critical data arrives on time and is not affected by other traffic.

IEEE 802.1Q VLANsThe IEEE 802.1Q VLAN can help improve network performance and security by segmenting the network into VLANs. IEEE 802.1Q VLANs can limit broadcast and node-to-node (unicast) traffic to a single VLAN. This limits the effects of broadcast storms and provides additional security for your network.

For VLANs to function, the computer in which this NIC is installed must be using Windows® 2000, XP, 2003 or later as its operating system.

Click OK when your settings are complete.



Cable Diagnostic FeatureThe Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) is a feature for examining the quality and the characteristics of a network cable that has been connected to the DGE-530T. This feature will make it possible for the user to detect and report potential cabling issues such as cabling opens, cable shorts and impedance mismatches. The distance of the fault can be reported to within one meter. To install this feature, go to the directory of the CD provided with this device, and click the Setup VCT execute file which will launch the installation program for the VCT.

To view the VCT settings for your DGE-530T, first open the D-Link Network Control utility located in the control panel of your computer. Once opened, click the Virtual Cable Tester tab.

To start the diagnostic, first disconnect the cable from the remote end node so there is just an open cable connected to the DGE-530T. Click the appropriate adapter from the tree view above and then click the Run button. The results which will appear in the table adjacent to the corresponding cable pairs, displays the status of the corresponding cable and the distance to the fault. The status of the test will be presented upon completion of the diagnostic. If the selected adapter is connected and has an uplink, the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) will be activated and will report the speed of the connection (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and the length of the cable.


Section 5 - Troubleshooting

TroubleshootingIf you experience any problems with the adapter, check to see:

• that the appropriate driver is loaded; • that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection; • that the supporting hub is properly qualified for the application.

The DGE-530T Adapter features four LED indicators:

• Link/Activity – Steady green indicates good linkage between the DGE-530T and its supporting server or switch. Flashing green indicates activity (transmitting or receiving) within the adapter.

• FDX – Steady green indicates the adapter is operating in full-duplex mode. • 1000M – The LED indicator lights green when a 1000 Mbps device is connected to the adapter. • 100M – The LED indicator lights green when a 100 Mbps device is connected to the adapter.

D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by DLink in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.

Non-Applicability of Warranty:The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.

• The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow DLink to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product) if the product is not registered.

• The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-877-453-5465, who will attempt to assist the customer in resolving any suspected defects with the product.

Herrmann, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. D-Link will not be held responsible for any packages that are lost in transit to D-Link. The repaired or replaced packages will be shipped to the customer via UPS Ground or any common carrier selected by D-Link. Return shipping charges shall be prepaid by D-Link if you use an address in the United States, otherwise we will ship the product to you freight collect. Expedited shipping is available upon request and provided shipping charges are prepaid by the customer. D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by D-Link not to be defective or non-conforming.
